Our Structure

The Board, which meets once a month, sets policies and goals for the South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency (SPIPA).

Each Board member is appointed by their Tribal Council and given the duty of keeping their Council informed about opportunities. The Board's prime goal is to promote the well being of Tribal Members and Tribal Communities. SPIPA shares that goal.

A prime directive of the Board is to develop new resources for funding programs and services.
